Apple sued for iTunes interface
Lately it seems like filing suit against Apple is quite in fashion. Today I read that Contois Music Technology is seeking damages against Apple for alleged patent violations in the iTunes Music Store. The suit is seeking monetary compensation and requests that Apple stop distributing copies of iTunes. According to Apple Insider, Contois Music Technology claims that "...19 interface aspects of the iTunes software...are in direct violation of Contois' patent. These areas include iTunes' menu selection process to allow the user to select music to be played, the ability of the software to transfer music tracks to a portable music player, and search capabilities such as sorting music tracks by their genre, artist and album attributes."
It feels like every time I turn around someone is suing Apple. What's going on?
